I'm baaack!

**UPDATE: Due to the Apaches advancing to quarter finals, GE will have an early release on Friday, Dec. 6th.

I just realized I had taken small vacation from the blog... I apologize! I guess I just got so excited about the holidays! And, I hope each of you had a fantastic break as well!

It's hard to believe we are starting the last three weeks of school before Christmas. Here is what's going on in our class for those next three weeks!

This week... we are learning about autobiographies. We are actually writing our own, too! Also in ELA we are re-visiting our verbs and changing their tenses to past tense. We get to play some fun games with this topic! Most importantly, we are working on changing irregular verbs - shake/shook, buy/bought, etc.

In Math we are finishing counting coin collections. If you have loose change around the house, have your student work on counting it. We will test later this week on this concept and then move on to two-digit addition. This topic will continue until Christmas break, so we can get  a lot of practice!!!

During this time (week of Dec. 9) we will also be PM Benchmarking for reading levels. I look forward to seeing the progress everyone is making!!! They are doing so great with their reading.

MOY testing - We will be having 2nd grade testing Dec. 16th (Math) & Dec. 17th (Reading).

Dec. 9 - 2nd grade with Master Gardeners (12:30-1:30)

Dec. 12th - 3rd grade play at Jr High  for GE students

Dec. 20th - Early Release & Classroom Christmas Party (party information will be going home the week of the 9th)

Also, we just realized we are running out of classroom snacks. If you are able, please help replenish our supply.

Thanks, and have a great week!
